Chapter 8 - Matteo Claimed Alessandro’s Dead Father Had Ordered the Betrayal Years Ago, but the Bank Records Proved He Was Lying About the One Thing That Mattered MostAlessandro spent the night reviewing old records.
His father had left letters.
Contracts.
Private agreements.
One document stood out.
It was a letter to Matteo.
You will never lead my family.
I watched Alessandro read it.
His hands shook.
“He lied.”
“About the promise?”
“Yes.”
“Why?”
“Because he wanted me to believe my father betrayed him.”
Matteo had built his entire justification around a lie.
He believed Alessandro stole something that had never been promised.
But the letter continued.
My son will inherit.
You will advise him.
Protect him.
Matteo had been given a place beside Alessandro.
Not above him.
He wanted more.
That was the root of everything.
The betrayal wasn't caused by poverty.
Or survival.
Or injustice.
It was greed.
Alessandro closed his father's letter.
“He was never entitled to my life.”
“No.”
“He simply wanted it.”
I touched his hand.
“You stopped him.”
He shook his head.
“Emma did.”
I smiled.
“Maybe.”
Then the bank seal became crucial again.
The original transaction had been approved by a biometric authorization.
Matteo couldn't have done it alone.
Someone else had helped.
The fingerprints belonged to a banker.
A woman named Claudia Moretti.
Alessandro's aunt.
His father's sister.
She had been financing Matteo for years.
The conspiracy went deeper.
But this time, Alessandro didn't run.
He faced it.
We exposed Claudia too.
She confessed.
She had protected Matteo because she believed the Moretti family belonged to her branch.
Another inheritance dispute.
Another betrayal.
Another lie.
The empire was collapsing.
And Alessandro had to choose.
Save the organization.
May you like
Or save the people.
He chose the people.
